Waltz Bop Shop: Name Dropping at Angela's and Melting

Today we have the final two tracks that will be posted from Waltz Bop Shop (although there is a concert on video tape that I might take the time to digitize at some point). The first song, And Melting was recorded at a house party in my living room (stay tuned for more from Wil Gira, who also played). The other is an A Capella version of Name Dropping At Angela's that Jenette recorded at my house in the mountains after Waltz Bop Shop had broken up. The spoken word piece overdubbed onto And Melting was recorded on the same day and is a reading of an excerpt from a short story I published in the mid 90's.

This blog mainly shares music that I have been directly involved in creating over the last 3 decades. I will endeavor to be diligent in giving credit to my collaborators. If you played on one of these tracks and haven't heard from me...drop me a line in the comments and let me know how you are doing.

Most of the works posted here will be under a creative commons license. Feel free to distribute them FOR FREE (re-post on your blog, embed the IA player, upload to a different server, or whatever). I would, of course, appreciate a link back here.

If you are interested in a commercial use/re-issue of any of the works presented here, leave me a note in the comments and we will work something out.

Friends-of-the-show posts are works by my talented friends (& family) that have given me permission to promote their efforts. From time to time I'll also drop suggestions for other DIY musicians I run across that I think you'd enjoy.aboombong on facebook

Thoughts give birth to a creative force that is neither elemental nor sidereal. Thoughts create a new heaven, a new firmament, a new source of energy, from which new arts flow. When a man undertakes to create something, he establishes a new heaven, as it were and from it the work that he desires to create flows into him. For such is the immensity of man that he is greater than heaven and earth - Philipus Aureolus Paracelsus(1493 - 1541)
